The paravan upholstery

  1. Get a cheap unit and dress it up. Coir mat for the floors. Traps muck but easy to clean

    Hedgehog hide would make a really hard looking upholstery material.

    you could pick it up here and there as you get about!

  4. You'd be better using osmo oil, a lot better than Danish and you get the same effect.

    I think the fabric's brill. I'd do the door cards in a vinyl, maybe a match to the brown stripe. Same on the seat backs & around the seat bases. Easier to keep clean;)

    In fact that could be the title of a Paravan book.

    I think a book about the parabus. The tlb generosity and paras life would make interesting reading as i love how para has managed to use his outgoing forum persona to gel it into a positive force that has got the van on the road (. Soon I hope).

    Air on a shoe string -Apt!

  14. Like Paul said, tweed with either faux suede or faux leather. Minimal vinyl though
    Im using some brown leatherette vinyl at the moment on an interior, £6.30 a meter.

    Looks like this..

  16. I do like the look of that for the doorcards:thinking:
     
  17. Maybe tweed in the middle with a tiny bit of brown top and bottom?
    To keep the vinyl to a minimum.

  18. The brown says... Im tough and weathered, and the tweed compliments it by saying.. I also kill fox's ;) hahaha

    Buy a router, about 3 bits and start scavenging hardwoods. You could have that interior for almost nowt if you're canny and play a long game. Auctions are great source of hardwoods built as horrible furniture for next to nothing.

    This would be nice IMO....the colour combo....not the jacket
